Using git version 1.6.0.4 - Created an eclipse wkspace, with a couple of projects in it. - Created a git repos at the workspace route, using cli. - Using cli added the two projects to git - at this point git status shows the following ===== bwinspur@elm:~/ca.wydv. workspaces/008-leaning-group/git-lrng-wksp$ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: git.trial.help.bundle/.classpath === omitted details from this post == # new file: git.trial.ui.bundle/.classpath === omitted details from this post == # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # .metadata/ bwinspur@elm:~/ca.wydv.workspaces/008-leaning-group/git-lrng-wksp$ ===== which is what I expected: my project folders are tracked, and .metadata/ is untracked. - now I bring up git gui and it shows all the files under .metadata/ as unstaged changes, which conflicts with git status, and may be due to a git-gui bug Regards, Bill Winspur -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
